As a result, existing notions of threat combine with 9/11 inflections to shape a specific conception of threat in a context "after" 9/11, and within this context, a feminism "after" 9/11 emerges.

The book highlights racial and gender stereotypes and shows how characters are portrayed as un-American or "other." The book illustrates how films both reflect social realities in America and also help create them.
